What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Most patients take bowel preparation agents at home before undergoing outpatient colonoscopy. However, some elderly patients undergo bowel preparation at the hospital. This study compared the outcomes of in-hospital (Group A) versus at-home (Group B) bowel preparation in elderly patients to clarify the usefulness of in-hospital bowel preparation. Patients and Methods: From September 2022 to September 2023, 151 patients aged 70 years or older undergoing outpatient colonoscopy at Ureshino Medical Center were prospectively enrolled (51 in Group A and 100 in Group B). The primary endpoint was bowel preparation time. Secondary endpoints were the number of defecations, colonoscopy start time, and adverse events. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to account for baseline differences, and multivariate analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with bowel preparation time. Results: After PSM, 26 matched pairs were analyzed. Group A had a significantly shorter bowel preparation time (192.1 ± 80.5 vs. 271.1 ± 57.9 min, Conclusions: For elderly patients, in-hospital bowel preparation is beneficial because it significantly shortens preparation and colonoscopy start times and reduces defecations, while maintaining safety and satisfaction rates compared with at-home preparation.
